Disc trouble.....

SCATA Puller · Dec 11, 2016

Hello all,

Recently we acquired an old pull type disc that we can not find any info or brand for. Unfortunately we got it in pieces so I am afraid some pictures my not help.

We think it is either a 9 or 10 footer. It is a double gang tandem disc. It has DH part numbers on it but we cant find any brand on it, and we have no clue who used DH part numbers so we are at a loss. The disc still has small amounts of red paint on it so we are assuming it is an IHC or MH. Any help would be great. If no one has anything helpful then next weekend when I go back out to the house I will take some pictures of it. Thanks for your help guys!

Oliver machinery was red. That DH on part numbers has been metioned quite often on here, Did not pay too much atention to that to know for sure but it seems to me like it was an Oliver number. And tandem disks were measured on back gang while single disks were measured on thw front or only gang. The younger one on here probably do not remember the red Oliver machinery as it was from the 30's-40's. Sometime in the 50's I think they switched to green for the machinery.

Most likely Oliver.

This picture of the unpainted part is where I found the original red paint. This is the disc I pulled with an Allis C when Dad (let) me start fitting ground when I was eight years old.

Dick L your picture shows the exact part numbers that we have on those particular parts. So I imagine that its probably an Oliver. Thanks for your help guys, any more info would be great.

Oliver stenciled the part numbers along with OLIVER on each frame part. My uncle was an Oliver dealer and he picked up the disc's with a pickup and trailer at the factory in banded bundles to be assembled. Dad helped assemble equipment some in the winter. I never was able to go along to see how they were bundled.

Dick L,

Were there any kind of bearing in the hubs on the axle housings? Or did they just pack them full of grease? We took one gang apart to look at it and there was just old nasty grease in there. I have heard that some of them had wood bearings or bushings? Just curious if you knew one way or another. Thanks

Just clean things up and hold up together and you can tell on this. Some disks the bearings were white iron and were just enough clearance for the grease, others were with wood boxings and if they were round on the outside there were guides to keep the boxings from turning, others were hex shape boxings.
